I do realize that. But then again, I've been told that for as long as I can remember.
The part that strikes me this time, is the year 2045...

China To Photograph All Internet Cafe Customers 223

Posted by kdawson on Friday October 17, 2008 @09:22AM from the papers-please-and-smile dept.

Gwaihir the Windlord writes "Not only is the Great Firewall of China back up and running, but now if you visit an Internet cafe, your photo will be taken and your identity card scanned. And the friendly officers of the Cultural Law Enforcement Taskforce make those details, entered into a city-wide database, available at any other cafe. So much for the new levels of openness and transparency that the Olympics were supposed to usher in."

Flower Robots For Your Home 119

Posted by timothy on Friday October 17, 2008 @03:00AM from the pretty-high-on-maslow's-hierarchy dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "Flower robots are not new, and some have already been developed in the US. Now, South Korean researchers have created a robotic plant which acts like real ones. This robot has humidifying, oxygen-producing, aroma-emitting, and kinetic functions. It is about 1.30 meters tall and 40 centimeters in diameter. The robotic plant can interact with people when they approach, and it can 'dance' when music is played. The researchers don't say when a commercial version of their flowers will come to the market. They also don't mention a retail price."

Hehe ... nice ...
My (pwgen generated) passwords usually end up in that same way.
After a month of every day use, the keystrokes sits in my fingers, and I'll have a hard time remembering them, if I haven't got a keyboard in front of me ...
